LEWISTON TELLER:

LEWISTON TELLER: A few days
ago we heard an experienced hop
raiser express himself in surprise and
delight at the great extent and fer
tility of the farm lands in Nez Perce
county. "Do you know" said he,
shat if such farms as are here were
in the Puyallup valley they would
sell quick at $3.50 per acre?" 1t is a
wrong idea that many people have
that hops will thrive only on very
sandy loan. Land that will raise
good wheat, oats OF potatoes will raise
good hops. The deep, rich loan
found so abundanrly throughout this
county is exactly suited to the grow
ing of hops. There can be no OBJ
lection as regards climate, for they
are grown in Oregon, California anc
the Western and Eastern States.
The average yield per acre of vel
cultivated hops on good soil is abou
1000 pounds. The average price ii
western Washington for the pas
. twelve years is twenty cents pc
pound. The cost of production i
, eight cents pound. This leaves
margin of twelve cents pound, an
on a basis of 1000 pounds to tn
acre gives net profit of $240, or a
average yearly income from ten
a acre field of $2,400. This may seer
high to some, but we know fror
i, practical tests of many men that thes
Figures are correct.

CAssIA COUNTY TINES: The great
boom that is now prevailing in the
southern part of California cannot fail
to extend into Idaho, where there are
thousands of homes awaiting the set
tier. One million acres of land in Cas-
sia county are now lying idle, and all
under heavens that is needed TO bring
it in market is canal taken from
Snake river to cover this vast area of
rich soil. With California once set
tied the home seeker will naturally
look around for the next best place,
ard IL Southern Idaho Is not that
then we admit that we are badly fool
ed. Snake river valley will produce
anything that California will, outside
of oranges, fig, etc. The day must
come, and that soon, when capitalists
will see the importance OF taking out
canals to cover this vast tract of ricf
land. /. In spite of the general pro-
test against the assessment of prop
erty this year, the county board o
equalization has increased the assess
ment nearly 100000. The assessmen
last year was little less than $500,
coo; this year it very nearly reache
5000, 900, and the general opinion i
that it is now lower than it ought T.
be, conidering the amount of taxabl
real estate property that has been ad
ded to the assessment roll during tn
past year. A large portion of the in
creased assessment was on propert.

JAMES and Alexander Thompson,
aged respectively 20 and Is years,
located a mining claim in Amador
county, California. Their right was
disputed, and the Superior Court of
that county decided that the boys,
being under age, could not make a
valid location. The case was ap-
pealed, and the Supreme Court re-
versed the decision of the Superior
Court. The law requires citizenship,
or a declaration to become a citizen,
to locate mining ground, but is silent
as to age. This is said to be the FIRST
case wherein the right of minor to
locate mining land has been decided
